If you are born in a land of giants and visionaries, like the Salento, you also have to be prepared to deal with an immense musical tradition before you begin to realize your dreams. Visionaries, sure, but firmly rooted in the land of their forefathers. Scion of the millennia and the tarantela and lucid interpreter of the present day, Antonio Castrignano is a musician, singer, crafter of ecstacies and pied piper, a young cyclops who uses half his hundred arms to play his tambourines and the other half to hail giants from beyond the horizon, embracing and welcoming them like foreign potentates in his humble reign. Featuring contributions from numerous international artists Sona Jobarteh, Mercan Dede, Enzo Avitabile and Badara Seck.
